How to Beat a 4% Acceptance Rate with Your Music Supplement
In a competitive pool, a music supplement isn't just an attachment—it’s a strategic narrative. Top colleges use these supplements to recruit musicians for their ensembles, and you do not need to be a music major to submit one.
When you submit, music faculty evaluate your performance and provide an extra score that factors directly into your overall application. This score is often the key differentiator that distinguishes your application in a competitive landscape.

"For my college applications, he put together a professional music portfolio and provided a letter of recommendation. He also reviewed my essays and prepared me for interviews. Thanks to his guidance throughout the admissions process, I was accepted by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford."
"My son only started working with Mr. Rashkin at the beginning of his Senior year in 2022 and he will be attending Eastman School of Music in the Fall of 2023. Mr. Rashkin was an integral part in my son’s acceptance to Eastman. He also received a prestigious music scholarship that can be used towards his studies."
"Phil helped us out a lot. He is such a good listener, and quickly and completely "got" our concerns. He was resourceful and worked hard to find solutions for our college bound daughter after she was accepted into a school, and we needed to negotiate for more aid. He was generous and kind. I can't see how anyone would not benefit from knowing and working with Phil, in any capacity."
